December 10, 2008

Winter always brings out my nesting instincts. By nesting I mean curling up with good books by the fire, brewing pots of herbal teas, starting and hopefully finishing up on creative endeavours, listening to great music, you get the idea. It's an introspective time, one to be savored, not rushed. It's a time to NOURISH one's self, and loved ones. A time for making stew! A time for dreaming, a time for planning gardens (life's garden, and my weeds). It's a magical time. Our fast paced schedules will continue on, but be certain to take time to go outdoors, especially at the first snow, and LISTEN to the winter silence. BREATHE the crisp air. I always find these times are especially good food for the soul.

Winter Blessings!

The way a crowShook down on meThe dust of snowFrom a hemlock tree

Has given my heartA change of moodAnd saved some partOf a day I had rued.
